I'm trying out haaska instead of the emulated Philips Hue bridge in Home Assistant, but haaska appends the word "Group" to names of groups while the emulated_hue component does not.
So to control e.g. manually created groups in HA like "Lights" or automatic groups like "all devices", I now have to say "Alexa, turn on Lights Group" or "Alexa, turn off all devices Group".
Since the Alexa app/web interface shows the type of each device, I don't think it's necessary to indicate the type in the name. Forcing this naming convention makes a lot of uses of groups inconvenient since it makes the voice commands less natural.
